Electric fence

An electric fence is a barrier that uses electric shocks to deter animals or people from crossing a boundary. The voltage of the
shock may have effects ranging from uncomfortable, to painful or even
lethal. Most electric fencing is used today for agricultural fencing and other forms of animal control purposes, though it is frequently
used to enhance security of sensitive areas, and there exist places
where lethal voltages are used.
